According to the Pensioners’ Union, many pensioners want to work part-time, and employers are also interested in them.
Pensioners are being lured to work in Lahti today.
On Tuesday 11 October, the Pensioners’ Union and Päijät-Häme Entrepreneurs will organise a recruitment event for pensioners, attended by ten employers interested in the work of pensioners. 140 pensioners have registered for the event.
– They themselves may have the idea that they will no longer be taken into work when they retire, but that is not the case. Employers have very high confidence in pensioners. One entrepreneur said that he prefers to hire a pensioner because he doesn’t have to be told what it is like to work,” says Kupiainen.
The Retirement to Work event takes place in Old Town Walimo on Tuesday afternoon from 13:00 to 17:00.
